Imagine sitting by yourself at the local coffee shop, and your ideal prospect (we call prospects Doubters) asks to sit down with you by chance. You strike up a casual conversation but only have a few minutes. The Doubter asks, “what do you do”?
Let’s say you are a landscaper, and The Doubter has just moved to town. You don’t know this, but it turns out he and his wife just bought that fantastic $5 Million waterfront home with spectacular gardens everyone in town is talking about. You only have a moment to create an impact.
This is it. In 2 minutes, The Doubter will get up and leave.
You could say, “we cut lawns, trim bushes, and all the rest,”…Just like every landscaper in town. Then hand them your business card, and off The Doubter goes. Watching him walk out, you notice he throws your business card in the trash can by the front door.
Wow. What a bummer. The Doubter just walked out with his $25,000 per year ($250,000 over ten years) landscaping account (plus referrals). And your beautiful business card it’s now in the trash, drenched with coffee stains.
Or …. You say this, “Let me give you an example of what we do, when we cut lawns, we follow a six-step system.”
How to Write a One Page Case Study Example: Lawn Service
- We Inspect your lawn: Before starting, we inspect the yard to identify any potential hazards, such as rocks or obstacles, and determine the overall health of your lawn.
- Prepare the mower: we check our mowers. We ensure our mowers are running like a Swiss Watch with sharp blades set at the proper height for your type of grass.
- Mow The Lawns: We start mowing the lawn in straight lines or a criss-cross pattern, overlapping each pass slightly to ensure even coverage. We cut the perimeter of the property first, then work inward.
- Trim edges: We trim the edges of the lawn using a string trimmer or edger to give your yard a clean and polished look.
- Blow Debris: We use a leaf blower to clear away grass clippings or debris left behind so that your lawn looks neat and pristine.
- V Clean up: Finally, we clean up our equipment and ensure the lawn is clean and tidy.
